Our prayers of sympathy go out to Erwin’s family. Earlier in our lives we so enjoyed spending time with Erwin, Arlene, and kids. We joined with them in the work of our Lord in Phoenix, holding Bible studies and other church related activities. Many laughs and prayers were shared throughout those years. It was our privilege to be their friends and family in Christ. Heaven has just welcomed the missing piece to lots of laughter and fun with the Knowlton duo.

Extending my sympathy to the family and I will keep you in prayer. Mr. Knowlton, as I called him when he was my American History teacher at John C. Birdlebough High School, inspired my love of history and encouraged me to pursue a college degree; the first one to attain that in my family.

It was a privilege to be part of Mr. Knowlton's service today. Each grandchild shared beautifully about their grandfather so we could know him. May you all find joy and comfort in knowing he is home with Jesus. But no matter how old, or how ill, the loss of a father is significant. My prayers are with you as you adjust to life without him.
The funeral of your dad had the lord in every word spoken. It has been a pleasure in knowing your parents thru the years. They made you feel so welcome, in their home in New York or FL. Rest in the Lords hands now Mr. Knowlton. Good and faithful servent.
Erwin will certainly be missed. We were neighbors for 35 years. We watched the three of you grow up, and you in turn watched our children grow up. Definitely the best neighbors and friends anyone could have. Our hugs, love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love Butch and Sandy
P.S. Erwin, say hi to Arlene for us.!
Mr Knowlton was my high school geography teacher. He was a good and patient teacher who loved his profession. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family.

We are sorry to hear of Erwin's passing. We have many memories of he and Arlene coming into our garage. We watched his kids grow and go out on their own. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr Knowlton was one of the people that grew my love of American History to the point I became a teacher as well. He was an inspiration to myself and many others.
